Ships and Shipping.

The total arrivals at New York in 1856 from
foreign ports were 5917, slight increase over
1882 buta falling of from the previous four Years
In 1888 comparatively few vessels on the lake,
earned enough to pay actual running expenses
while last year it is stated that the average earn
ings of the lake fleet will show net profit of >,
per cent. on the capital Invested. This splendic
showing has so enhanced the value of the vessels
that standard tonnage is held ut much higher
price than at the beginning of the season. an,
recent sales have been made at an advance of |,
to 10 per cent. This wave of prosperity can b,
traced to several causes. 1t is chiefly due, how
ever, to the sudden and almost unprecedented re
vival of the iron industry.
